Carl Edwards won Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide series race at Dover International Speedway after a wreck-filled final lap knocked out several contenders.
Edwards battled Joey Logano off the final restart of the 5-Hour Energy 200. Logano got loose as he tried to pass Edwards and hit the wall, triggering a pileup that eliminated Clint Bowyer from contention. Bowyer’s car slid sideways and debris hit one of his crew members.
Edwards thought he hit Logano and caused the accident. But Edwards never made serious contact and won in a green-white-checkered finish. Tampabay.com
The victory was Edwards’ third of the season and the 32nd of his career, good for fourth on the career Nationwide victory list.
Kyle Busch, who was attempting to tie Mark Martin for most all-time wins in the series with 49, finished second. Busch won Friday’s Camping World Truck Series race at Dover. He did not lead a lap in the Nationwide event here.
“It was a long day for us,” Busch said. “We didn’t quite have the car that we needed.”
Reed Sorenson took the third spot, followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and David Reutimann. MiamiHerald.com
